Raiders Set to Pick at No. 13 in 2024 NFL Draft

The 2023-24 NFL regular season has come to a close, and the order for the first 18 picks of the 2024 NFL Draft has been determined.

As it stands now, the Las Vegas Raiders' first pick of this year's draft will be at No. 13.

Should that hold up, it would be the first time Las Vegas drafted between the No. 10 and No. 20 picks since it selected offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood with the 17th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.

The year before, the Raiders made two selections in that area of the draft board: former NFL wide receiver Henry Ruggs III at No. 12 and cornerback Damon Arnette at No. 19. Those three are no longer Raiders.

Aside from defensive end Tyree Wilson, the only first-round picks in the last six years who are still Raiders are All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs and left tackle Kolton Miller.

As of right now, here the following is the order of the top-18 picks for this year's draft, via NFL.com.

1. Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)

2. Washington Commanders

3. New England Patriots

4. Arizona Cardinals

5. Los Angeles Chargers

6. New York Giants.

7. Tennessee Titans

8. Atlanta Falcons

9. Chicago Bears

10. New York Jets

11. Minnesota Vikings

12. Denver Broncos

13. Las Vegas Raiders

14. New Orleans Saints

15. Indianapolis Colts

16. Seattle Seahawks

17. Jacksonville Jaguars

18. Cincinnati Bengals

The Raiders had nine picks in last year's NFL Draft, their most since 2019 when they selected three eventual Pro Bowlers: Jacobs, defensive end Maxx Crosby and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow.

The 2023-24 NFL playoffs will determine the rest of the draft order. Per NFL Football Operations, the winner of this year's Super Bowl will pick last in all rounds, with the runner-up picking second-to-last in all rounds. wild card round losers will select 19th through 24th in all rounds, divisional round losers will select 25th through 28th and conference championship losers will select 29th and 30th in all rounds.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024.
